USG Fall Elections Voting - OPEN
Voting opened this morning at 8:00am for several 2024-25 DU Undergraduate Student Government Senator positions!
Please click on candidates' names within the ballot to see their campaign platform.
Please Note: If you receive a ballot that does not include the appropriate class senator option for you (for example if you should be voting for the First Year Senator roles but do not see them as an option on your ballot), email your vote to usgelections@du.edu and include:
your First & Last Name
your DU ID number (87…….), and
the name(s) of the individuals you wish to vote for.
Please still vote for what you are eligible to on the official ballot link. If you do not wish to vote for any of the candidates running for a particular position, you may leave that section of the ballot blank. Your ballot will still be valid and counted for the other positions you have selected. Simply skip the position you do not wish to vote on and proceed with submitting your completed ballot (ballots must be submitted in order to be counted).
Voting will close on Sunday, October 6th at 11:59 PM.
If you have any questions, please contact us at usgelections@du.edu. We appreciate your taking the time to share your voice and look forward to meeting our future USG leaders!
